"Functional" oil pressure sender, digital dash June 13, 2017, 12:05:09 PM I'm looking to make the oil pressure gauge on my digital dash move, instead of just constantly display 5 bars all the time. I can't seem to find the part number for the sender (the large one) that makes the gauge move. Does one for a 5.0 Mustang work or do I need a different one? If you've done the conversion let me know what part number you used. Thanks. Quote Selected

"Functional" oil pressure sender, digital dash Reply #8 – June 27, 2017, 10:27:20 AM It'll work. Don't expect it to read like a fully manual gauge. It'll move a little, but not as much as you'd want if you were trying to get an idea between hot/cold pressures. You need some type of extension tibe to go with it. That sender will not thread directly into the block simply due to It's dimensional size. The threads are correct. It just won't fit. Quote Selected
